Re[2]: Windows Dos window doesn't work?
Hi, Just Let You Know, i'v been working a lot with open process in Rev, and without a Tutorial first approach, struggled a bit. But after a while, everything works fine for me. As i did a lot of tries and learnt a lot of Rev at the same time, do not remember very well all my struggles.. today, this is a Industry Product which uses the open process, reads few information at the start, and a report at the end. In between, the 2 processes ( Rev and Perl ) communicate via Sockets. This works on Win98, NT systems and with Rev Express 2.1.

Do you know if the catalog information that is applied to images in Photoshop CS is stored as EXIF metadata? Yes, I believe it is. I don't have Photoshop CS, so I tested using Photoshop Elements - but I'd be surprised if they were very different. It stores things like (as output by my Test button) Image ,ImageDescription,This is the actual caption,ASCII,182 Image ,Software,Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0,ASCII,261 Image ,DateTime,2004:12:16 00:53:32,ASCII,290 [ Note - it changed but left the DateTimeOriginal unchanged] Image ,Artist,Alex Tweedly,ASCII,310 Image ,Copyright,(c) Eleane,ASCII,323 EXIF ,DateTimeOriginal,2004:10:18 09:50:39,ASCII,770 An application we would be very interested in (and I think could be a commercially viable product in the real world) would go like this: in a real world scenario: Our photographer in Nepal (Thomas Kelly, as somewhat famous photographer who also does assignments in Nepal and India for Hinduism Today) goes on a photo shoot of some particular event. Like most photographers, he will take even up to 500 shots in a 3 day period But for the article that will use them in the next issue of the magazine, we only need perhaps 8 of them. Does he really individually catalog all 500 of them ? Or is there some batch process in PSCS to apply the same File Info to all of them ? (PS Elements has some batch process methods, but I don't see one to apply File / File info Enter Revolution: We make a stand alone application for Thomas.. He works in Photoshop... enters his captions, then we have Revolution stack reads all the photos into an external substack which creates lo-resolution 2 X 3 inch thumbnails., but the metadata from the photoshop info (which I hope is EXIF) is read into a field below the photo... he clicks a button, the substack is saved, compressed and sent FTP to us here... our editors review all the images, and the can read the captions, the respond to him saying We want these 8 shots then opens his revolution stack and clicks on a list of chosing those 8 images, these are in turn compressed and sent to use by FTP.. but the EXIF data somehow accomanies them. When the photos actually go into InDesign... the editor can pull out the EXIF data for the captions. I hate to talk myself out of an app to write - but you can do almost all of that in PS already. Add the FIle / File Info. Use Batch Process to resize them all (to say 200 pixels width, low res) - this retains the Exif data from the captioning. FTP the directory to the editor editor looks at the thumbnails - Exif data is available in PS selects the filename of the ones he wants full-size copies of FTP the full size images of the selected photos Exif data is still in these full-size jpg files. No need for any new manipulations of Exif data; you could have a small Rev app to display thumbnails and Exif data. right now I have a small application working for remote photographers, but the caption info is external to the image... when they ship to us here... (usually by email) I get 01someImage.jpg 01SomeImage.txt # this being the caption But, there are challenges with this system.. what if someone renames the image later ..etc. files get separated... in some contexts i don't want any text files in the working directory...etc. It would be much better if there was a way to for the photographer to insert this metadata into the photo file itself, so that it could piggyback along with the files as a single entity. Look into the File / File info command in PS - allows you to set Title, Author, Copyright status and copyright string, and Caption (unlimited length text string). We work with lots of photographers, both high end and lo end... and I don't see any of them with these kinds of functional tools. There could be a niche market for some application along these lines. -- Alex. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Dave, you once mentioned a command something like libURLResetAll? I think it does the same thing. Then it's detention for you, Chipp. :-) All resetAll does is call libUrlResetAll. liburlResetAll is the preferred and official command. (Because there's a high chance someone has a library or stack script with a resetAll handler which does something completely unrelated, but more understandable such as resetting a set of preferences to their defaults.) Then I need to reinitialize my libUrlStatusCallback. This can present problems when calling from the IDE as it kills all socket activity for the engine everywhere, so best be careful. Be very careful! libUrlResetAll is a particularly brutal way to stop a download. I don't recommend it to anyone. For me, it's just a development tool and never include it in a distributed stack. But if anyone feels the need to include it in an app, be sure that libUrlResetAll is the last libUrl call in the handler where it appears. But until I add an official way to cancel a get download, here's a little tidbit. You can cancel a download by using this command: ulCancelRequest url This is an internal handler used by libUrl during the unload url procedure. This handler alone should happily stop a get request too. WARNING: If you use this in a stack, be prepared to change it when a future libUrl release adds an official interface.

Disabled submenu items on Win XP
Hi all, Some weeks ago, I asked for a question about disabled menu items but I probably was not clear enough and I got no answer. So: Imagine a menu with submenus. For somes reasons depending on the context, the first item in a submenu has to be disabled but the following ones in the submenu are enabled. On Mac OS, there is no problem: so long you are in the menu area, flying over enabled or disabled menu items makes no difference and the menu stays. On Windows, if the first submenu item is disabled, you cant catch the following enabled submenu items: the menu vanishes :-( Is that correct behavior according to some guide lines I dont know on Windows or is it a kind (...) of bug ? Any clue would be appreciated, Thanks, Amicalement, Éric Chatonet 24, Boulevard de Port-Royal 75005 Paris Fixe : 33 1 43 31 77 62 Mobile :33 6 20 74 50 89___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Word keyword
The other reason, I think, why it is sometimes called a hard space is because in WP where you fully justify text (to both right and left margins) a 'hard' or non-breaking' space will not be 'stretched' or 'squeezed' the way ordinary spaces are to achieve the justification.

Major features include: - on-line English dictionary using Babylon - file transfer to and from other clients - sending colourised text using menus or a palette - compatibility with the new ChatRev forum format - speech - clickable web links - automatic linking to Bugzilla - graphical smileys - optional interpreting of HTML tags - an opportunity to sponsor the project The stack and standalone versions of ChatRev 1.2M19 can be downloaded at http://home.wanadoo.nl/mark.sch/software/main.html. From there, follow the link to ChatRev. Quick start: If you open ChatRev for the first time, choose the default url http://www.revolutionboard.de/bvg/ip.txt from the IP URL menu. An IP number will appear in the IP menu. Enter 80 into the Port field. Also, enter a user name and a password and click on the Connect button. If you haven't registered before, you will be asked to register. Fill out the form and click on Okay. Then click on Connect again. To improve this client, it is very important that bugs are reported. If you encounter any problems with the client or have other comments, please send an e-mail to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. Include an extensive description of what you did before the problem occurred and add what you expected to happen instead. Also list the hardware and relevant software you are using, e.g. computer model, built-in memory, free hard disk space, and operating system. I hope to meet you on ChatRev, soon!

Revolution is forgiving enough that a lot of the time it doesn't matter. For example, the number of lines will return the same number whether the carriage return is at the end or not. This has come up before, and it isn't a bug, it's a feature. Commas work the same way.

mySQL Query... need some help
I'm a genuine newbie and have been having a major difficulty in trying to format a mySQL query and thought that maybe someone can point me in the right direction. All I'm trying to accomplish at this point is to search for a specific record and display the info in the proper fields. Here's how I have things set up... Currently the DB is connected when the card opens DB name is: mybuddies Table name is :revprogrammers DB Fields: FirstName (Primary) LastName PhoneNumber Text Fields In Stack: ShowFirstName ShowLastName ShowPhoneNumber Query Field: myQuery I *think* this is the right general direction (not working, obviously) on mouseUp get revDataFromQuery(,,SELECT * FROM mybuddies WHERE FirstName = field 'myQuery') end mouseUp I'd jump for joy if someone could point out what I'm doing wrong or point me to a *really simple* mySQL tutorial/stack to learn from Thanks, -Doc- ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

It has buttons to make the connection, list tables, show table structures and perform queries as well as a rather crude interface for editing table structures. It might help you get going anyway.

Re: Making a Rev-built app hoist itself to the foreground
On Dec 15, 2004, at 7:07 AM, Richard Gaskin wrote: Geoff Canyon wrote: Thanks, but I need something that will bring the whole Revolution app to the foreground when other applications are in front of it. go this stack brings that window to the front of the Rev app, but doesn't change the layer of the app itself. You can use the Activate AppleScript command on OS X; with Windows having interleaved windows from the beginning there is no concept of bringing an application to the front, so you'd probably have to move each window forward by itself. Unfortunately, activate doesn't seem to work for apps called through the command line. In fact, clicking on their windows doesn't bring them to the front either. I asked on an OS X list if this were correctable, but haven't had a successful response yet. regards, Geoff Canyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: URL download and Cache problems
Dave Cragg wrote: Richard's thought may stem from a similar experience to mine. Previously, load was often preferred because it was the only way to show progress of the download, and not because there was a need to do other processing. In my own apps, I almost always need to pause other things until a download completes. (e.g. a learner chooses a lesson to open, and can't work on it until it has downloaded) load wasn't ideal for this. But load was often recommended over get because of this ability to show progress. With the libUrlStatusCallback option, I now rarely need to use load. It's much simpler to use get. I love libUrlStatusCallback! It also works great with POST and ftp uploads/downloads. Caveat: when using get, there's no obvious way to abort a download before it completes. This should probably go on the to-do list. In my apps, I issue 'resetAll' which stops the download. Dave, you once mentioned a command something like libURLResetAll? I think it does the same thing. Then I need to reinitialize my libUrlStatusCallback. This can present problems when calling from the IDE as it kills all socket activity for the engine everywhere, so best be careful. -Chipp ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Quartam Reports
Hi Everybody, This one's directed primarily to Jan Schenkel. Can you advise when rank-and-file Revolutionaries like myself will have a chance to actually get to see and play with the fabled Quartam Reports? From the brief description given after Malta, it sound like something I've been hoping a long time to see.

Re: Digital Audio File/Quicktime Help
Hey Fred, I think I can help- No problem on cutting a chunk from a larger file. There are several ways to do so. I use QuickTime Pro and iMovie for this, but there are lots of software options. iMovie will allow you to fade the audio up and/or down so the start and stop are not so abrupt. On the other question--creating jump links inside QuickTime. I haven't done this in a while but I used to use a tool called Electrifer to accomplish just what you are describing. In effect the buttons are additional image tracks that sit in a layer atop the main video track. Each of these images can be hot-linked to a time interval (min:sec:frames). Tell me more? Steve Is there anyone out there who knows the insides of digital audio files? I am writing an application where it would be helpful to be able to manipulate these files. For example, I'd like to create a new sound file that consists of just a portion of a larger sound file. I have no idea if it is even possible to dig inside a sound file without messing it up. I would also like to find someone who knows the insides of Quicktime. I am needing to use Quicktime in some slightly unorthodox ways. For example, I need to allow the user to click a mouse to play a portion of a Quicktime file with no time lag -- in other words as soon as the user clicks the mouse, the music plays.

If you want a custom icon and don't have tools for OS X icon creation, just put together a 128x128 image for it. I have Iconographer here and can get the OS X, Windows, and OS 9 icons for you rather quickly. Yes, OS X can use 128x128 icons. They're quite large.

Improper code or a bug in Revolution?
Hello all, Several weeks ago I posted to the use-revolution list to ask for advice on making transparent buttons, used in a handset simulation. I'd like to thank all of you who replied to my posting; the Revolution developer community is a very friendly and helpful place! Now, onto my question. I seem to have hit a roadblock with the simulation, and unfortunately I cannot open my sim stack without crashing Revolution. I had two snippets of code in the sim, but I'm fairly sure they wouldn't have caused problems. The first bit was in my main stack Handset simulation, used to find out how many cards I had in a sub-stack, named Contacts (this would be the database for the address book application): on OpenStack global numberOfAddressBookEntries get the number of cards of the stack Contacts put it into numberOfAddressBookEntries --Testing statement: answer The number of address cards is numberOfAddressBookEntries end OpenStack The other bit of code was with my transparent buttons. They were in a group called Keypad, and I was trying to script the group instead of each individual button: on mouseUp -- copy the label of the button clicked on into the buttonPressed variable put the label of the target into buttonPressed -- Testing statement: answer buttonPressed has been pressed! end mouseUp Everything seemed to work fine, but I think a problem occurred after installing Devolution. I fooled around with the Explicit variables option, which led to this disaster. I uninstalled everything, reinstalled Revolution (still on trial, waiting for the company to purchase a license), and now I get these errors: http://img91.exs.cx/img91/7342/reverror27qo.png http://img11.exs.cx/img11/145/reverror14qp.png It looks like something is messing with the license.rev file. Two interesting things to notice: - In the Application Browser window, my Handset Simulation stack doesn't even show up. - The error dialog that appears changes, and I have no idea why. If explicitVariables was even set to true, I haven't figured out any way to get into the stack to edit the script. I find it hard to believe that a badly written stack can bring down the entire IDE. Is my stack hosed? Where do I go from here? Thank you for your help.
